National Day of Service and Remembrance

Jan Starr of GroupeSTAHL published this in an internal newsletter for our team members around the world and we would like to share with all of you as well:

At the 9/11 Memorial in New York, the names of every person who died in the terrorist attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001 are inscribed in bronze around the twin memorial pools.

In the twelve years since September 11, 2001, we’ve paused to catch our breath trying to come to terms with the horrific events that unfolded twelve years ago on that day. There was little that could be said to make sense of such a tragedy; the impact of this event had sent shock waves around the world. Thousands perished at the hands of terrorists while thousands of survivors have walked the difficult path of recovery. On this National Day of Service and Remembranceof all the victims, we hope your “Stars and Stripes” will fly at half staff for the day and that you can observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. EDT, the time the first plane struck the North Tower.
